While Gaga has released a few songs from ARTPOP--which is, according to the singer "designed be a trip, heard from start to finish"--"Applause" was leaked early and happened to drop the same day as Katy Perry's single "Roar," sparking rumors of a feud between the two singers.

John Mayer's missus later insisted that there was no "beef" between the two pop stars, and they even tweeted their support for each other, despite the fact that Gaga was less than pleased with the purported leak.

Lady G most recently appeared at the first ever YouTube Music Awards on Sunday Nov. 3, where she arrived wearing a bizarre look similar to the cover art from her single "Dope," which included a black top hat, black shades and a black leather shirtdress in addition to a yellow, decaying, faux grin.
